One taco to go: Avila's

This week's taco adventure takes us into a brick house next to an auto repair shop for legendary Tex-Mex.

Zoom in: The nearly-40-year-old restaurant features recipes from the family's Mexican and Texas heritage, including pozole and pollo con calabaza.

• Avila's brisket tacos were once featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."

Vibe check: Walking into Avila's feels like walking into someone's house. Sun-bleached papel picado hang outside. Inside, the walls are adorned with framed loteria images.

• The chips are plentiful and the salsa may be the best in town.

What to order: Brisket tacos, served with rice and beans.

Where: Avila's Restaurant, 4714 Maple Ave.

Cost: $15.95 for the two-taco plate.

Six-word review: Tender brisket doesn't need many frills.
